Build Procedure

Ubuntu

# install build infrastructure
sudo apt-get install git build-essential gcc cmake python python-lxml

# build
git clone https://github.com/acplt/open62541.git
cd open62541
mkdir build
cmake .. # generate the build scripts
# Optionally create an Eclipse project: cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" .. 
make # creates executables in the build directory

# enable additional features
sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev # for XML-encoding
sudo apt-get install liburcu-dev # for multithreading
sudo apt-get install check # for unit tests
sudo apt-get install graphviz doxygen # for documentation generation

ccmake .. # to select features for compilation. Use "cmake-gui .." for more eye-candy
make
make check # unit tests
make doc # generate documentation

Windows (Visual Studio)

Windows (MinGW)

  • Execute the same steps as in the Visual Studio case. But instead of installing Visual Studio, get and install MinGW:
  • The cmake command changes to Batchfile <path-to>\cmake.exe .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"
  • Then run (still in the build folder) Batchfile <path-to>\mingw32-make.exe

Get expat

  • Start MinGW Installation Manager mingw-get.exe
  • Choose all Packages, mark mingw32-expat and install

Get the check unit testing framework

  • Download check from http://check.sourceforge.net/
  • Open MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat bash cd check-code autoreconf --install ./configure make make install
